No. 921,543. Specification of Application filed August 12, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANK A. HAYDEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Pilot Point, in the county of Benton and State of Texas, have invented certain new and usefu improvements in Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in cabinets, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof Figure is a perspective view of the cabinet. Fig. is a centrai ion 'itudinal sec tion. Fig. is a horizontal section. .Fig. 4 i is a detail. perspective view of one of the brackets, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail of the connection between the reels and the operating mechanism;

The present embodiment of the invention comprises a hoilow casing 1, substantially rectanguiar in cross section, one of the sides 2 thereof being adapted to open as a door as shown in Fig. 3, and the casing is rotatabiy mounted on a pin 3 iournalei'l in a bearing 4, the pin being irovided at its iower end with a head 5, and threaded at its upper end, the upper end being engaged by a nut 6. A pluraiity of shafts 7, are iournaled horizontaliy in the casing, in spaced relation, and adjacent to each side thereof, the shafts being arranged one above the other as shown in 2, andjournaiedin suitable bearings 8. Upon the snafts, at suitabieintervals and in spaced relation are jonrnaied reels 9, each being provided. at one end with a gear 10, which is engaged by a gear 11 on ashort shaft 12, journaled in the casing, and having a cr i: 13 projectin outside of the casing. A slit 14 is provided in the wali oi the casing on level with ea h reei, the siit being directiy in front of the reel as shown in ig. 3, and of a length equal to the idth of the reel. The top 15 and the bottom 16 of the casing may be pro vided with a suitable molding and the said bottom turns on a circular ring 17, secured on the ends of a cross 18 through which the pin 3 before described passes.

It will be observed that the shafts on two Letters Patent. Patented May 11, 1909.

shorter than the shafts on the other sides, so "hat the reels on said first named sides may fit between the ends of the shafts on the other sides. The cabinet is especially adapted for containing lace, ribbons, or other like narrow goods wound 'in rolls. and the ends of the lace, or ribbon adapted to be passed out through the slits. When it is desired to withdraw the lace or ribb-cn, the end oi the same is taken hold in. 1e l corresponding thereto rotates, thus permit ting the lace or ribbon to be withdrawn. B rotating the crank the reel, the reel may be rotated to rewind the lace or ribbon thereon.

The shafts are supported by the brac ce shown in Fig. 4, each comprising a plate 1 adapted to be secured to the wheel oi th-. casing, and having a central outwardly prejecting arni provided with a lateral portion 21, which is connected by a brace 7 with the wall 01' the cabinet. the portion it) is provided with a bearing 23 in which the shaft 7 is jonrnaled.

By providing the door in the casing, access may be had to the interior thereof, and the central portion oi the casing not occup ed by the reels may be used as a storage place.

I claim:

A cabinet comprising a casing provided on its side walls with a plurality oi horizontal series of alined slots, a pair oi brackets secured to the inner w ll of the casing at each slot, the members of the pair being arranged one at each end oi the slot, reel journaled between each pair of brackets, a cross piece connecting the brackets between the reels, a shaft ournaled in the side wall of the casing and in the cross piece adjacent to each reel, a pinion on the inner end of the shaft, and a crown wheel on the reel with which the pinion meshes, the outer end of the shaft being provided with a gearing for the purpose set forth.
